Are you looking for a way to two-way sync contacts between Salesforce and ActiveCampaign? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we will go over how to two-way sync your contacts between these two CRMs. By syncing your contacts, you can ensure that your data is up-to-date in both systems. This means that when changes are made in one Salesforce, they will automatically be reflected in ActiveCampaign. Additionally, any new contact information added to either CRM will automatically appear on the other side as well.
Two-Way Sync Contacts Between Salesforce and ActiveCampaign
Create a Spoke for ActiveCampaign
Did you know syncs from ActiveCampaign to Salesforce run slightly differently than syncs from Salesforce to ActiveCampaign? Strange, isn’t it? But, there is a tool called CiraHub that overcomes this issue. With CiraHub, you are in complete control. You define what, when, and where to sync.
Imagine this, you can even add a third tool like HubSpot, and it will multi-way sync CRM contacts in a professional way. To avoid missing important contacts or having incorrectly synced contacts, we will use CiraHub to sync ActiveCampaign and Salesforce.
1. Log in to CiraHub. On the Hub & Spoke Setup page, select the Contacts object. (See figure below.) Note that CiraHub can sync both contacts and calendars.
2. Next, select the source type of your Contact spoke. In this case, we have selected the CRM function, then ActiveCampaign, and click NEXT. (See figure below.)
3. Enter your ActiveCampaign Access URL and Key.
4. Create a name for your first Spoke and click NEXT. (See figure below.) This process will let you multi-way sync ActiveCampaign contacts.
5. Enter a name for your Hub and click CREATE.
